    How do you tell if earphones are good?

    Well im curious as to how you can tell what earphones are good and bad, are there any specific specs to look at? Asking because im thinking about trying to upgrade my earphones which maybe the cx300 or cx500 but my creative ep630's have a response range of 6-23k where as the sennheisers have only 17-22/23, what one is better? Id think the creative spec better but im unsure.

    Look at my ratings

    Just like speakers, don't just go by the specs. There is a lot of personal preference, perhaps with earphones there is more than speakers as they also have to fit right.

    I guess reviews and recomendations is the way to go about it. And, in general, the more expensive the better. Though that isn't absolute.
